Secondary Teaching Assistants - Tameside

Job description

Secondary Teaching Assistants – Tameside

Location: Tameside – Ashton-under-Lyne, Denton, Hyde, Stalybridge & surrounding areas
Start: November 2026 / Ongoing
Contract: Full-time & Part-time opportunities
Pay: £93–£110 per day, dependent on experience and role

Teaching Personnel are currently recruiting Teaching Assistants to work across our partner secondary schools throughout Tameside.

With a number of schools looking for additional support following the October half term, we are keen to speak with experienced Teaching Assistants as well as graduates and individuals with transferable experience who are looking to start or develop a career in education.

The Role

Depending on the school and your experience, responsibilities may include:

Supporting pupils across KS3 and KS4 within the classroom

Providing 1:1 and small-group support

Supporting pupils with SEN and additional learning needs

Helping pupils with engagement, confidence and progress

Providing pastoral and behaviour support

Working alongside teachers, SEN and pastoral teams

Supporting pupils across a range of curriculum subjects

Who We're Looking For

We would love to hear from:

Experienced Teaching Assistants, Learning Support Assistants and SEN TAs

Graduates considering a future career in teaching, educational psychology or education

Psychology, Education, English, Maths, Science, Humanities and other subject graduates

Youth workers, sports coaches and mentors with experience supporting young people

Individuals with experience in SEN, SEMH, behaviour or pastoral support

Confident and enthusiastic individuals who can build positive relationships with secondary-aged pupils

Previous school experience is beneficial but not essential for all opportunities. Relevant experience working with young people and the right attitude can be equally valuable.

Drivers are particularly encouraged to apply, as being able to travel between different areas of Tameside can open up a wider range of school opportunities. However, you do not need to drive – we are also keen to hear from candidates who use public transport and are happy to travel to different schools across the Tameside area.
